John,

With just four days to go until the start of the Iowa Caucus — the official start of the 2024 election cycle — Donald Trump’s popularity among Republican voters is surging.

While the mainstream media focuses on the (non-existent) GOP horse race, our very own Iowa Starting Line team has been on the ground covering the campaign since day one.

The Iowa Starting Line’s caucus coverage is critical in a state like Iowa, where local newsrooms have been closing for years, creating news deserts where communities are left without access to trustworthy local news.

Right-wing bad actors like Donald Trump exploit these news deserts by filling the void with lies, conspiracy theories, and hate, knowing full well that they won’t be held accountable for their actions.

As you can see for yourself, we're NOT letting that happen in Iowa, John: ⬇️

Our Iowa Starting Line team has been on the ground providing critical coverage of the upcoming Iowa Caucus.

The Iowa Caucus is just the beginning of what is to be one of the most important elections in our lifetime, John. To protect our democracy from the same dangerous lies and hate we saw in the last two presidential elections, Courier's ten battleground state newsrooms are using the same model of factual, fearless local journalism as the incredible team at Iowa Starting Line are doing.
